Tangled By Fate-Chapter 465 - 465 THE CHAOS

465 THE CHAOS

“Are you thinking that you are tonight’s winner?”

Suddenly, a female voice spoke from the Duke’s left side.

Duke De la Pole was startled. He turned around and saw a woman wearing a red satin gown. Her off-shoulder gown revealed her smooth skin.

Her developed breasts could barely be hidden behind the gown. Her cleavage was deep, making men wonder how big her breasts were.

The area around her eyes was covered with a red mask. Her red lips were slightly curved. Her playful attitude could make a man’s head spin.

Duke De la Pole could be evil but he was a decent husband. He never cheated on his wife.

However, the woman’s beauty intoxicated him. He licked his dry lips as he stared at her.

“Lady knows how to read one’s mind? Interesting,” he commented, trying to praise her.

The woman seductively smiled in return. “Do you know what else I can do?”

.....

Duke De la Pole chuckled. “Why wouldn’t I? What else can you do?”

The woman leaned closer and whispered in his ear, “I’m good at bedding men too.”

Her sweet perfume and melodic voice hardened Duke De la Pole. His blood boiled.

His children were at marriageable age. He hadn’t had sex with his wife for a year or two.

He was so occupied working with the Queen and conspiring against the Magic Tower that he couldn’t remember the last time he had sex.

The lady next to him knew how to stir a man’s heart despite his age.

He hardened down there before he realized what was happening.

The lady seemed to understand his train of thoughts. She chuckled.

She became bold and placed her hand on his thigh. She noticed his leg trembling.

“I know more than just that. Do you want to know?” She used her alluring voice to whisper in his ear.

Duke De la Pole’s throat was dry. He vaguely nodded.

Satisfied by his reaction, she slowly stroked his thigh and then said, “I can kill people too.”

Duje De la Pole’s face drastically changed. He turned to face her. Ne noticed a shuriken in her other hand.

The danger bell rang in his head. He widened his eyes in shock and shouted to warn.

His shout warned everyone.

Everyone turned around. They saw a woman in a red gown standing up with a sword.

Realizing the crisis, the nobles shouted. They ran toward the entrance.

“All I wanted was to scare them a bit. I didn’t want to start chaos,” the lady in red dress half-heartedly stated.

“And you want me to believe that? You knew very well what your shuriken could cause,” Felix said.

Zinnia smirked. She didn’t deny his claim.

“Now that we created chaos, shall we leave it to Veronica?” she asked.

“Just as the plan,” Felix muttered.

The noblemen rushed toward the entrance only to find the doors were locked.

They banged the door repeatedly and shouted, “Let me out! Open the door! Please help!”

No matter how loud they shouted, no one opened the door for them. The guards who were guarding the doors were all unconscious. They were also tied up.

But the noblemen didn’t know what was happening outside. They kept banging the door.

They were no fighters. They hadn’t trained their bodies since they were children. Most of them were middle-aged.

Soon, they became tired of kicking the door and shouting. They looked at the stage and noticed that the stage was cleared.

The slaves were gone and so were the slave traders.

They cursed and ran toward the stage.

Since the traders couldn’t walk around with slaves in front of people in the street, they must have hidden passages in the tunnel.

“Ahh!”

“Urgh!”

The noblemen fearfully noticed an armed couple slashing nobles and slave traders’ assistants. They were horrified.

Most of the noblemen hated dirty places but their lives were at stake. What could they do?

They climbed the stage and noticed an iron stair and went downstairs, into the basement. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

They didn’t have time to hesitate. They could hear the nobles’ pitiful cry behind them. They climbed the stairs.

They noticed the traders in the basement with the slaves.

Feeling they were just as pitiful as the slaves, their anger rose.

“What is the meaning of this?”

“Do you have spies in your group?”

“Did you plan to expose us? Do you think you can get away with it?”

The slave traders had a hard time calming the angry nobles. They were also in the same situation as the nobles.

They retorted back. “Why are you blaming us? Why would we expose anyone? Are we stupid?”

“Don’t you know we all have permission from you-know-who?”

Everyone knew that someone powerful permitted the slave trade and that’s why they would still do this kind of business.

The nobles became quiet.

“But what will we do?” one of them asked. “We need to escape as soon as possible. Don’t you have an escape route?”

One of the slave traders rubbed his head and answered, “We have. We will discreetly leave this place. You can follow us from behind but make no sound. Got it?”

The nobles nodded.

The slave traders and their henchmen escorted the slaves and nobles to the tunnel.

The tunnel was narrow and small in height. Only two people at the same time could walk.

The place was dirty and stinky. The noblemen wanted to vomit but could only hold back.

There wasn’t enough air supply. The place was stuffy. It was hard to breathe when so many people were together.

Some were murmuring something but no one cared. Everyone wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

They felt like they walked for ages. Their energy was draining quickly. The nobles were especially exhausted.

“There is a light! I see the end of the tunnel!” the person in front exclaimed.

Everyone lightened up. As if they suddenly gained energy, they sped up.

However, no one expected that the moment they came out of the tunnel, there would be people to welcome them.
